[quote=Anonymous] I know I'm in the minority here, but I would be frank with him. He's a teen, he's probably not feeling great right now, and wants to fit in but is not going the right way about it. He needs his parents to alert him. Most Americans are overweight and tiptoe around conversations like this. They quibble over terms and phrases. And most Americans stay overweight. It is so clear to me that walking on eggshells about eating habits and body shape is not working for them. What's wrong with talking about appearance as well as health? We are such an appearance-driven society. First impressions are so important in private and professional spheres. Anorexia, while terrible (my cousin was anorexic for most of her teenage years), is definitely not as prevalent as obesity. [/quote]
